Squad

A fracture rules Alexandr Ednach out for 14 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Neman will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Maxim Autko is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Neman is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

A row about effort at Neman

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mikhail Kozlov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Words exchanged at Neman

Timur Minets and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout

Kirill Veidyger has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Neman will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Loan watch

Artur Nazarenko keeps scoring at Slutsk

26 appearances away from home and 8 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

The dugout

No hiding place for Maksym Shevchenko

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Maksym Shevchenko, and the manager let it.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Oleg Evdokimov

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Dinamo Minsk in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Market

The Sergey Pushnyakov question follows Neman around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Sergey Pushnyakov’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market

Maxim Autko agrees terms with Orsha

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Neman people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Bogdan Jočić

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Neman have done the hard part with Rubin, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Tempers go at Neman

Mikhail Kozlov was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Lida join the queue for Vladimir Tonkevich

Add another name to the list: Lida have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Vladimir Tonkevich. The answer from Neman has not changed — yet.

Squad

Oleg Evdokimov falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

Dinamo Moscow tell Neman: Luka Gagnidze is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

A bad afternoon for Neman against Dinamo Minsk

0‑2 to Dinamo Minsk, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

No hiding place for Yuriy Pavlyukovets

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Yuriy Pavlyukovets, and the manager let it.

Squad

Timur Minets stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Timur Minets and Neman agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

In brief

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Kirill Veidyger

There were 15 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Not going: Nikita Matysyuk stays at Neman

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Slutsk had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market

Dmitriy Girs has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Neman they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

A falling-out at Neman

Dmitry Radikovskiy and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Partizan tell Neman: Mateja Milovanović is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets

Deadline beats Neman to Kirill Apanasevich

The clock did what BATE would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

Loan watch

Timur Minets counts the days

“I watch every Neman game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Lida runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout

Kirill Veidyger gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Kirill Veidyger is on it.

The dugout

Hleb Korzun on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Hleb Korzun after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.
